Overview:
In November 2021, the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) was signed into law. Regarded as one of the largest infrastructure bills in U.S. history, the IIJA has paved the way for government contracting opportunities. However, today’s competitive market presents a myriad of challenges and potential roadblocks that government contractors must be wary of.
As an increased level of compliance requirements is anticipated in the coming months, it is crucial for contractors to stay on top of government initiatives and other regulatory changes. They must also adopt robust contract strategies to ensure success in the federal government contracting market.
Listen as leading consultant Rob McDonald (Berkeley Research Group, LLC) and senior government procurement attorney Joe Whitcomb (Whitcomb, Selinsky, PC) bring the audience to a blend of an engaging and comprehensive discussion of the latest developments and critical issues in government contracting. The distinguished speakers will also share valuable insights, actionable tips, and best practices to avoid pitfalls in the contracting space.
Key topics that will be covered in this discussion are:
- The Federal Government Contracting Market: A Current View
- Notable Regulatory Updates
- Spotlighting Risk Factors in Government Contracting
- Best Compliance Practices
- Cost Recovery for Government Caused Delays/Disruptions
- What Lies Ahead
Learning Objectives:
- Obtain an overview of Government Contracting including an understanding of its unique features and rules.
- Be aware of the latest legislative and regulatory developments affecting government contract compliance.
- Determine leading strategies and practices designed to reduce compliance mishaps and other risks.
